-Thermal zone attributes
------------------------
-
-type
- Strings which represent the thermal zone type.
- This is given by thermal zone driver as part of registration.
- E.g: "acpitz" indicates it's an ACPI thermal device.
- In order to keep it consistent with hwmon sys attribute; this should
- be a short, lowercase string, not containing spaces nor dashes.
- RO, Required
-
-temp
- Current temperature as reported by thermal zone (sensor).
- Unit: millidegree Celsius
- RO, Required
-
-mode
- One of the predefined values in [enabled, disabled].
- This file gives information about the algorithm that is currently
- managing the thermal zone. It can be either default kernel based
- algorithm or user space application.
-
- enabled
- enable Kernel Thermal management.
- disabled
- Preventing kernel thermal zone driver actions upon
- trip points so that user application can take full
- charge of the thermal management.
-
- RW, Optional
-
-policy
- One of the various thermal governors used for a particular zone.
-
- RW, Required
-
-available_policies
- Available thermal governors which can be used for a particular zone.
-
- RO, Required
-
-`trip_point_[0-*]_temp`
- The temperature above which trip point will be fired.
-
- Unit: millidegree Celsius
-
- RO, Optional
-
-`trip_point_[0-*]_type`
- Strings which indicate the type of the trip point.
-
- E.g. it can be one of critical, hot, passive, `active[0-*]` for ACPI
- thermal zone.
-
- RO, Optional
-
-`trip_point_[0-*]_hyst`
- The hysteresis value for a trip point, represented as an integer
- Unit: Celsius
- RW, Optional
-
-`cdev[0-*]`
- Sysfs link to the thermal cooling device node where the sys I/F
- for cooling device throttling control represents.
-
- RO, Optional
-
-`cdev[0-*]_trip_point`
- The trip point in this thermal zone which `cdev[0-*]` is associated
- with; -1 means the cooling device is not associated with any trip
- point.
-
- RO, Optional
-
-`cdev[0-*]_weight`
- The influence of `cdev[0-*]` in this thermal zone. This value
- is relative to the rest of cooling devices in the thermal
- zone. For example, if a cooling device has a weight double
- than that of other, it's twice as effective in cooling the
- thermal zone.
-
- RW, Optional
-
-emul_temp
- Interface to set the emulated temperature method in thermal zone
- (sensor). After setting this temperature, the thermal zone may pass
- this temperature to platform emulation function if registered or
- cache it locally. This is useful in debugging different temperature
- threshold and its associated cooling action. This is write only node
- and writing 0 on this node should disable emulation.
- Unit: millidegree Celsius
-
- WO, Optional
-
- WARNING:
- Be careful while enabling this option on production systems,
- because userland can easily disable the thermal policy by simply
- flooding this sysfs node with low temperature values.
-
-sustainable_power
- An estimate of the sustained power that can be dissipated by
- the thermal zone. Used by the power allocator governor. For
- more information see Documentation/driver-api/thermal/power_allocator.rst
-
- Unit: milliwatts
-
- RW, Optional
-
-k_po
- The proportional term of the power allocator governor's PID
- controller during temperature overshoot. Temperature overshoot
- is when the current temperature is above the "desired
- temperature" trip point. For more information see
- Documentation/driver-api/thermal/power_allocator.rst
-
- RW, Optional
-
-k_pu
- The proportional term of the power allocator governor's PID
- controller during temperature undershoot. Temperature undershoot
- is when the current temperature is below the "desired
- temperature" trip point. For more information see
- Documentation/driver-api/thermal/power_allocator.rst
-
- RW, Optional
-
-k_i
- The integral term of the power allocator governor's PID
- controller. This term allows the PID controller to compensate
- for long term drift. For more information see
- Documentation/driver-api/thermal/power_allocator.rst
-
- RW, Optional
-
-k_d
- The derivative term of the power allocator governor's PID
- controller. For more information see
- Documentation/driver-api/thermal/power_allocator.rst
-
- RW, Optional
-
-integral_cutoff
- Temperature offset from the desired temperature trip point
- above which the integral term of the power allocator
- governor's PID controller starts accumulating errors. For
- example, if integral_cutoff is 0, then the integral term only
- accumulates error when temperature is above the desired
- temperature trip point. For more information see
- Documentation/driver-api/thermal/power_allocator.rst
-
- Unit: millidegree Celsius
-
- RW, Optional
-
-slope
- The slope constant used in a linear extrapolation model
- to determine a hotspot temperature based off the sensor's
- raw readings. It is up to the device driver to determine
- the usage of these values.
-
- RW, Optional
-
-offset
- The offset constant used in a linear extrapolation model
- to determine a hotspot temperature based off the sensor's
- raw readings. It is up to the device driver to determine
- the usage of these values.
-
- RW, Optional
-
-Cooling device attributes
--------------------------
-
-type
- String which represents the type of device, e.g:
-
- - for generic ACPI: should be "Fan", "Processor" or "LCD"
- - for memory controller device on intel_menlow platform:
- should be "Memory controller".
-
- RO, Required
-
-max_state
- The maximum permissible cooling state of this cooling device.
-
- RO, Required
-
-cur_state
- The current cooling state of this cooling device.
- The value can any integer numbers between 0 and max_state:
-
- - cur_state == 0 means no cooling
- - cur_state == max_state means the maximum cooling.
-
- RW, Required
-
-stats/reset
- Writing any value resets the cooling device's statistics.
- WO, Required
-
-stats/time_in_state_ms:
- The amount of time spent by the cooling device in various cooling
- states. The output will have "<state> <time>" pair in each line, which
- will mean this cooling device spent <time> msec of time at <state>.
- Output will have one line for each of the supported states.
- RO, Required
-
-
-stats/total_trans:
- A single positive value showing the total number of times the state of a
- cooling device is changed.
-
- RO, Required
-
-stats/trans_table:
- This gives fine grained information about all the cooling state
- transitions. The cat output here is a two dimensional matrix, where an
- entry <i,j> (row i, column j) represents the number of transitions from
- State_i to State_j. If the transition table is bigger than PAGE_SIZE,
- reading this will return an -EFBIG error.
- RO, Required
